Florence Nightingale began working on hospital reform even before she founded her famous school of nursing; hospitals were
dangerous places for nurses as well as patients, and they urgently needed fundamental reform. She continued to work on safer
hospital design, location, and materials to the end of her working life, advising on plans for children's, general, military,
and convalescent hospitals and workhouse infirmaries. Florence Nightingale and Hospital Reform, the final volume in the Collected
Works of Florence Nightingale, includes her influential Notes on Hospitals, with its much-quoted musing on the need of a Hippocratic
oath for hospitals--namely, that first they should do the sick no harm. Nightingale's anonymous articles on hospital design
are printed here also, as are later encyclopedia entries on hospitals. Correspondence with architects, engineers, doctors,
philanthropists, local notables, and politicians is included. The results of these letters, some with detailed critiques of
hospital plans, can be seen initially in the great British examples of the new "pavilion" design--at St. Thomas', London (a
civil hospital), at the Herbert Hospital (military), and later at many hospitals throughout the UK and internationally. Nightingale's
insistence on keeping good statistics to track rates of mortality and hospital stays, and on using them to compare hospitals,
can be seen as good advice for today, given the new versions of "hospital-acquired infections" she combatted

Florence Nightingale (1820-1920) is famous as the heroine of the Crimean War and later as a campaigner for health care founded
on a clean environment and good nursing. Though best known for her pioneering demonstration that disease rather than wounds
killed most soldiers, she was also heavily allied to social reform movements and to feminist protest against the enforced
idleness of middle-class women. This original edition provides bold new insights into Nightingale's beliefs and a new picture
of the relationship between feminism and religion. Nightingale argues that work was the means by which every individual sought
self-fulfillment and served God. She wrote influentially about the group most Victorians declared to be above work unmarried,
middle-class women. Suggestions for Thought to the Searchers after Truth Among the Artisans of England (1860), which contains
the novel Cassandra, is a central text in nineteenth-century history of feminist thought and is published here for the first
time

The greatest postnatal killer of the nineteenth century was puerperal fever. A vicious and usually fatal form of septicaemia,
puerperal or childbed fever was known to occur in maternity hospitals far more frequently than at home births, and to spread
faster in crowded wards than in those with fewer patients. Its cause was unknown. In this precise statistical analysis of
the facts, gathered from several sources across the major cities of Europe, Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) explores the
mystery of puerperal fever and its possible causes. She stresses the necessity of good ventilation in hospitals, condemning
those with overcrowded wards, and cites instances where the layout of wards has a noticeable correlation with the number of
deaths. Published in 1871, just before Pasteur's work on germ theory proved that the problem could be all but eradicated if
doctors washed their hands more rigorously, this work remains clear, scholarly and engaging

The founder of modern nursing expressed her revolutionary ideas of hospital reform in these two essays, published in 1859
and presented the previous year at the Social Science Congress. During the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale achieved renown
as The Lady with the Lamp, the tireless caretaker of wounded soldiers. Afterward, Nightingale searched Europe for innovations
to help the army improve its hospital care. This report of her findings and suggestions had a profound effect on the medical
community and reestablished the author as an international healthcare authority. Despite the advances in medical knowledge
since Nightingale's era, her common-sense approach continues to form a solid foundation for nursing. In these essays she voices
the importance of hygiene?fresh air and water, cleanliness, proper drainage, and ample light?as well as ongoing consideration
for patients' feelings. Nightingale's ability to effectively articulate her ideas impressed her contemporaries and continues
to influence modern readers. This volume serves as a companion to Nightingale's classic of nursing literature, Notes on Nursing:

Florence Nightingale was twenty-nine when she visited Egypt in the winter of 1849-1850 with her friends Charles and Selma
Bracebridge. She wrote long, picturesque letters to her family describing her visit and her views on the country, its history
and its people. These letters were edited and privately printed by her sister, Parthenope, in 1854 and were greatly admired
by those who read them, but they have never before been published
